Hansel and Gretel

Some terrific songs and a truly funny script make this version of Hansel and Gretel a real treat. The plot follows the traditional story to the point where the kids get lost in the woods, but the gingerbread house they discover belongs to a Hollywood Wicked Witch and her bumbling servant, Fritz. While the witch is still very interested in having 'people over for dinner' she is also very, very funny. We've heard nothing but rave reviews about this delightful show, and the music is great!
